The loudest band in the New York startup scene takes the stage Tuesday, 17 October 2017 at legendary Lower East Side institution Pianos.

Joined by our brothers-in-arms Medio, faithfully Philly Old Scratch and Hoboken's favorite daughter Stephanie Turci, the doors open at happy hour and the tunes start shortly thereafter for a parent-friendly school night extravaganza of rock and roll.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- Like many of you, we were shocked and discouraged by the recent "leaks" released to the media about Adventure Capitalists and the allegations they charge. After an extensive forensic analysis of our IT infrastructure and in consultation with our counsel and the US intelligence community, a19s would like to set the record straight about these leaks. This communication will serve as the only official comment on the matter.

First, the firm can neither confirm nor deny that we are releasing another record this spring. Investment decisions of this kind are information proprietary to the firm and critical to our ongoing success. Speculation about when the record will drop, the amount of premium shreddage it does or does not contain and/or potential chart topping track listings and sequences. Persons found to be spreading word about another Adventure Capitalists' record are unauthorized agents with no ...

Like most New Yorkers, the partners in Adventure Capitalists will be steering plenty clear of Manhattan this Halloween. You can keep the $40 covers, $15 drinks and $2 Ken Bone costumes and come out to Queens to join an evening so soaked in 90's nostalgia, you have to mop it up with a New Kids on the Block beach towel.

The AdCap crew will be pulling out those unwashed flannel shirts and frayed jeans to deliver a night of tasty 90's tracks at the Let Love Inn in Astoria. First up, James, Kilian and Rob will be the backing band for Mary Ann and Ashley Doubt. A set of riot grrrl sisters swiftly teleported from Seattle circa '96, they will be shredding cords for Hole Lotta Doubt with raging interpretations of your favorite pre-fame Courtney Love and Gwen Stefani tracks.

Here are a19s, we've invested around the thesis that knowing the future is a pretty fucking surefire way to make money. That's why now - two years after founding the firm - we are delighted to announce the first new member of our family. In the next hot talent that we brought to AdCap, we were looking for less of a financier and more a soothsayer. Someone who had a track record of foretelling the hottest new technological trends in which to invest; the voice at the table who was routinely two steps ahead.

James and I are confident we found that person in Adventure Capitalists' new digital prophet - Kilian McMahon.

I remember the first conversation I ever had with Kilian. We were having our Monday partner meeting at Tarallucci e Vino when he walked right up to our table and declared confidently, "I'm going to play guitar with ...

Hackers on the West Coast, it is time to get stoked. We're thrilled to announce that we'll be playing at PyCon 2016 this month! Our set will close out the festivities of the first PyCon dinner in Portland's historic and stunning Crystal Ballroom. Tickets for the dinner and show are separate from the conference pass and they are going fast, so be sure you swoop them up with a quickness.

The night is going to be chock full of quality shenanigans. Brandon Rhodes is going to be kicking things off with his always raucous Python trivia, we've got plenty of guest stars lined up for the set, a bumper crop of brand new tunes, all of which in one of the most legendary venues on the entire West Coast.

PyCon 2016 - Day 1 Dinner

While the rest of you wantrepreneurs are begging for ink on the last up round you are going to get before the long winter comes, your favorite fairweather financiers at Adventure Capitalists have been deep in our stealth accelerator this fall preparing something special. Continuing in our bold tradition of disrupting your paradigm until it hurts, we're proud to lock in the date for our first demo day.

At last, the long wait is over. This week we post the final track from our digitally recorded, thoughtfully afforded debut MVP. We've had a whole lot of fun over the past six weeks - thank you so much for being a part of our startup shenanigans as we aim to shake up an industry that hasn't rocked for far too long.

This week we drop the final track that we send out to every hacker that has found themselves on the wrong side of an exploited relationship. When you put your heart into production, you're at constant risk of getting pwn3t - this one goes out to all of you who have found yourselves in a relationship that feels a lot like an OpenSSL vulnerability.

On the limo ride home from Burning Man, I was talking to a set of fresh entrepreneurs on the problems they were facing. In between updating my Mattermark dashboard and updating my DraftKings lineup, I listened to some of their problems. Classic issues every startup founder has to face.

The penultimate track from our debut record MVPcomes straight from our hearts and sent over a tapped wire to our good friends in the American intelligence community. Folks who may have heard our prototypical escapades a while back might remember the demo tape that started Adventure Capitalists with a love ballad called "No Spoilers Allowed." Our minimum viable record would not have been complete without revisiting the track and giving it a full band workup, complete with blistering honky-tonk solo.

Share with every spook you know and let them know how much you appreciate their vigilant recording in the name of our freedom.

During our annual firm retreat to Burning Man, we've had a lot of conversations about Bitcoin and the future of wealth distribution on the Internet. Clearly, we're on the precipice of a once-in-a-generation shift in the mechanics of moving money and it is obvious to us at AdCap the blockchain figures centrally in this trend. The macroecon implications of Byzantine consensus is...

Goddammit - this is not fucking funny people. Oh shit. Oh fuck - you can see it from three feet away. Look at it. Just look at it! That gash is wider than the spread on my goddamn natural gas futures. Are fucking blind? It's right there.

No, Steve, I can't just "buff it out." I just got it fucking armored last month ...
